Attention, men: "The twink thing seems over," declares GQ editor Jim Nelson in a New York Timesarticle this weekend. That's right, it's time to ditch that slender, waif-like frame and pick up some biceps at the muscle store.

It seems like every year we read the same goddamn article in the Times about how muscles and "classic" manliness are back in style. But Times writer Guy Trebay really, reallythinks the emaciated androgyne thing is out in men's fashion. (Don't tell Ryan McGinley.) Like everything, this is because of the recession. Before the recession "consumers were content to indulge designer subversion of age and gender expectations." But now that everyone is scared they just want daddy. Or Jon Hamm.

Cool. But Guy Trebay was also the Times writer who declared the beer gut to be last year's hipster must-have accessory. So, men should be either really in shape, or really out of shape? It's so confusing being a man. Someone needs to just give us one set of impossible-to-reach body expectations and be done with it.
